    You can use plugins to do it. One I am using is WP-Dropbox and is a nice plugin and does all work automatically.

    Hi.

    I always backup my files and site using backup buddy. Backup buddy is a premium plugin, but worth every penny. It backs up both your database and full website in about 15-20 seconds, you then have an option of where to add the backup zip file. The other option the plugin provides are, migration and site restore.
